Industry Affiliates Program
The Stanford Center for Digital Health Affiliate Program provides a structure for companies to collaborate with our faculty to advance digital health innovations. Our program is designed to foster partnerships between industry and academia, promoting the development of cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to transform healthcare. The program provides unrestricted support for CDH’s research, teaching, and administrative activities.

They will also have access to our team of experts in digital health, including clinicians, data scientists, and engineers.
